December 9, 2022

Interior more than 99% virus- and bacteria-free with UV-C Disinfection Device from Progress Europe

A clean interior free of pathogens is very important. Especially now that the government is placing more responsibility on business owners and employers to take measures against new infections, including Covid-19. The UV-C Disinfection Device from Progress is the solution for this. This is because it eliminates more than 99% of viruses and bacteria with ultraviolet light. Fast, effective, safe and no drying time. Used (partial) cars have never been so spotless, thanks to UV-C Device.

Cleaning and effectively disinfecting the interior of a vehicle has become increasingly important. Especially for business use, the cleanest and most hygienic interior possible is an essential part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). And the car interior can be quite “dirty. Scientific research shows that, on average, up to 629 bacteria live in a car per square centimeter. This means that a car seat contains more bacteria than the average toilet seat! With the UV-C Disinfection Device, these pathogens are eliminated with high-quality results and can be quickly redeployed each time, without having to consider drying time.

UV-C technology

UV-C technology emits ultraviolet (UV) rays that destroy bacteria and viruses by breaking down the DNA and RNA in their cells. UV-C disinfection is a proven cleaning method. Reputable hospitals already apply the UV-C cleaning method for disinfecting operating rooms and surgical instruments.

Easy assembly

Progress Europe’s UV-C Disinfection Device is designed for controlled and repeated cleaning of surfaces without the use of liquid. Ideal for the interior of a car, bus, truck or other vehicle. The device can be easily connected to a 12V or 24V socket. With the help of the included manual, mounting materials, wiring and fuse, it is easy to mount the lamp against the roof in a central location in the interior.

Control with smartphone

The special UV-C lamp is easily controlled with a smartphone via a downloadable app (available in the Apple App-store and Google Play Store). Moreover, the device is equipped with a safety feature: the ultraviolet lamp turns itself off if someone comes near it while the lamp is on. The turn-on time is programmed and depends on the size of the interior of the selected vehicle.

Effective after only 15 minutes

For the interior of a passenger car or compact commercial vehicle, the cleaning process takes a minimum of 15 minutes. For a large truck cab, this involves at least 30 minutes. Because no liquids are required, the vehicle is ready to use immediately after UV-C Disinfection Device cleaning. This makes Progress Europe’s UV-C Disinfection Device particularly attractive for fleet owners with (large) fleets, cab companies and providers of shared cars. Private drivers can also benefit from a blemish-free interior. Especially for people who are sensitive to bacteria other microorganisms.

Made and tested in the Netherlands

The device was developed, tested and manufactured in the Netherlands. Through an optimized design, maximum radiation of the UV-C light has been achieved. The results were measured with calibrated test equipment and, using this, an optimal operation time can be calculated because it depends on the energy reaching the surface to be cleaned. The lamp (10 watts) lasts an average of 6,000 15-minute sessions at a time. Replacing it is easy and fine to do yourself.
